Assessment is vital for a quality physical education program and for students' development toward becoming lifelong movers. The purpose of this article is to explore proficiency-based learning and evidence-based grading as assessment strategies that are both timely and meaningful. This article will first explain proficiency-based learning and evidence-based grading and how these two strategies complement each other to allow for well-rounded assessment to occur in physical education programs. Then it will provide examples demonstrating how these two strategies can be utilized in a physical education unit focused on nutrition and on the five components of health-related fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, body composition, and flexibility. These strategies provide physical education teachers guidance toward best practices in assessment, as well as proof of student learning.
